My XR10

[eulerk427]

Here is some pics of were I do my crawling. It is an old stone quarry and has slate, granite and slip rock.





Here are a couple of stills with my XR10.

Just ordered integy aluminum clamping servo horn, chaotic crawlers steering link, axial carbon chasis kit and HB rovers (soft) for front and medium for the rear.

Will post pics when installed and some pics on the rocks.

Looks great!
Some orange links would look sharp with your color scheme but it's purely cosmetic though.

Laying down the shocks will increase articulation, standing them up will reduce it.

Laying them down will make the spring rate decrease as the suspension compresses, and reduce dampening. Standing them up will make the spring rate increase as the suspension compresses and increase dampening (it allows the natural increase in spring rate as the spring compresses to overtake the reduction in leverage as the suspension cycles).

I just put together another crawler with spare parts I had lying around. I used stock XR10 frame, AX10 shocks, axles, motor, tranny, skid plate.
I used stock Wraith lower links with aluminum uppers, RC4wd punisher shafts from my scaler, stock AX10 rims and RC4wd outcropper tires.
I bought a cheap esc, steering servo. I will post some pic later today.
I wanted something to beat on that would'nt break the bank.

Here are some pictures of my AX10/XR10 creation.

As far as I can tell, it appears that you are still using the stock gray springs (2.07lbs/in)?
Those springs are quite stiff (even though they are labeled as "super soft").
You may want to try some lighter springs out.

I'd try out some 1.5lbs/in for the rears and 1.0lbs/in for the fronts (approximate rate).
It really makes a big difference in a good way!

Thanks for the advice, I run Axial black springs in the front of my XR10 with red in the rear. The problem with my AX10/XR10 combo is the driveshaft travel. When it flexes the driveshafts bottom out inside the housing. If I cut them short they will not have enough material touching to spin.

The xr10 looks cool, and the ax/xr10 looks neat as well I've thought about doing that to my old xr10 chassis after I upgraded it to the chaotic bodiless chassis. I wish I had a place like that to crawl your lucky lol

Thanks man!

That's a JConcepts single cab body. Everyone I crawl with has the stock XR10 body and I wanted something different.

I really like that body,may have to order one for my new build.

AWESOME! Thanks for the reply!
